House Financial Services to Consider Bills Regarding CFPB Oversight

cfpb_credit_cfpbMHProNews has learned from acainternational that the House Financial Services Committee will consider two bills relating to oversight of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) at a hearing Wed., Sept 30, 2015 at 10 AM EST.

Rep. Steve Stivers (R-OH) introduced Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection-Inspector General Reform Act of 2015, H. R. 957 that would ensure greater accountability at the CFPB by creating an Inspector General, nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Reintroduced Feb. 20, 2015, the bipartisan measure is being co-sponsored in the House with Rep. Tim Walz (D-MN). Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) introduced a companion bill in the Senate

Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Randy Neugebauer’s (R-TX) Financial Product Safety Commission Act of 2015 (H. R. 1266) removes the CFPB from under the umbrella of the Federal Reserve System and sets it up as a stand alone agency governed by a five-member bipartisan commission. Chairman of the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee, Neugebauer introduced the bill in March following CFPB Director Richard Cordray’s semi-annual report to Congress.

Cordray just presented his seventh semi-annual report to the House, with a focus on mortgages, credit cards and student loans in addition to responses from companies to consumer complaints about these financial products. ##
